The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is responsible for conducting research and making recommendations for the prevention of work-related injury and illness. Although NIOSH is generally characterized as a non-regulatory agency, guidance and recommendations issued by NIOSH are often used by other agencies responsible for developing and enforcing workplace safety and health regulations.

NIOSH is also directly responsible for several regulations. These regulations mostly outline procedures and requirements for specific health and safety related matters involving a particular industry or set forth rules for NIOSH to follow in administering programs assigned to the Institute. The regulations include rules regarding the following:

  1. The Coal Workers Health Surveillance Program which describes x-ray screening of underground coal miners, autopsies, and operation of the B-reader program for classifying pneumoconiosis;
  2. NIOSH grants and educational training programs;
  3. Implementation of HHS responsibilities under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness and Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA);
  4. Approval of respiratory protective equipment;
  5. Conducting investigations at places of employment for the Health Hazard Evaluation (HHE) program and for occupational safety and health research; and
  6. Implementation of the World Trade Center Health Program.

The NIOSH regulations are found in the following parts of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and are linked below.

Formerly Relevant OSHA Requirements: 29 CFR 1910.1020, 29 CFR 1910, subpart Z

Employers are no longer required to notify and transfer records to NIOSH

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) previously required employers to transfer employee exposure and medical records to NIOSH if: (1) the employer was going out of business without a successor, (2) the retention period for records had expired or, (3) due to the termination of a worker’s employment. However, on June 8, 2011, OSHA deleted these transfer requirements from its substance-specific standards in 29 CFR 1910, subpart Z, as well as from its regulation at 29 CFR 1910.20, Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records. See, 76 Federal Register 33590, 33598. As such, employers are no longer required to notify and/or transfer OSHA-required records to NIOSH.

Although employers are no longer required to notify and/or transfer records to NIOSH, OSHA’s current regulation at 29 CFR 1910.1020(h)(1) provides that whenever an employer is ceasing to do business, they must “transfer all records subject to this section to the successor employer. The successor employer shall receive and maintain these records.”

Also, OSHA’s regulation at 29 CFR 1910.1020(h)(2) requires that: “Whenever an employer is ceasing to do business and there is no successor employer to receive and maintain the records subject to this standard, the employer shall notify affected current employees of their rights of access to records at least three (3) months prior to the cessation of the employer’s business.”

CDC’s role in rules and regulations
As the nation’s public health protection agency, CDC has certain authorities to implement  regulations related to protecting America from health and safety threats, both foreign and within the United States, and increasing public health security.

CDC and other agencies implement public health laws passed by Congress through Federal Regulations. After a Congressional bill becomes law, federal agencies may be responsible for putting the law into action through the development of regulations—also known as “rules.” Federal regulations give the public details or specific requirements of how the law will be applied. The process of creating regulations or rules is called rulemaking.

What are CDC’s regulatory authorities?
Click on each public health program in the boxes below for information on CDC’s regulatory authorities. You can also find the official text of CDC regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations under Title 42—Public HealthExternal.

How can you participate in CDC’s rulemaking process?
Federal rulemaking usually involves a notice-and-comment process in which regulations are published in the Federal RegisterExternal for public comment over a specified time. By commenting on proposed rules to improve them, the public plays an important role in the rulemaking process. You can provide your comments by going to the federal government’s regulations websiteExternal to view CDC’s rules that are open for public commentExternal.

For a list of regulations CDC is currently working on, please see the Unified AgendaExternal of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions.

Medical devices are part of a multi-billion dollar industry that continues to rapidly grow due to technological advances. As a consequence, medical devices have been a hot topic in the mainstream media with coverage in the documentary “The Bleeding Edge” on Netflix and a piece by John Oliver on HBO’s “Last Week Tonight”. In these pieces, the shortcomings of the medical device regulation process in the United States are the focus. And this has sparked some great discussion among medical device clinical professionals and the public alike. However, understanding the medical device regulation process is paramount in order to strive for continuous improvement, updated regulations, and being informed both as a clinical professional and as a patient.

In the United States, it takes approximately three to seven years on average for a new medical device to come to the market. Compared to pharmaceutical drugs, which take on average 12 years, the medical device approval process is significantly faster and less costly. However, compared to our counterparts in the European Union, a device on average that took five years to come to market in the United States only took 11 months in the EU. In light of this information, there is still much to be done to analyze the safety outcomes of the pathways implemented by both the US and EU to bring devices to market.Medical_Device_Classification-1To understand how new medical devices come to market in the United States, we have to start with how medical devices are classified into three categories: Class I, Class II, and Class III. Class I devices are considered low-risk devices many of which can be found in every household such as adhesive bandages, cotton swabs, and toothbrushes. Class II devices have moderate risks and include items such as contact lenses, imaging diagnostic devices (ultrasound, X-rays), and pregnancy tests. And lastly, the highest risk devices fall under the Class III umbrella and include life-saving devices such as pacemakers, coronary stents, and cerebellar neurotransmitter implants.

All devices regardless of the class are subject to general controls by the FDA. A majority of low-risk, Class I devices and a minority of moderate risk, Class II devices can apply for FDA exemption. With an exemption, the FDA will control the manufacturing, product labeling, and risk information that is provided for public use of the device. If the device does not have an FDA exemption, special controls are required prior to marketing the device. And lastly, for high-risk devices, pre-market approval (PMA) is required prior to bringing a device to market. In our next blog post, we will dive deeper into the FDA pathways that are utilized to bring a medical device to market in the United States.

FDA APPROVAL PATHWAY FOR MEDICAL DEVICES
 
New_Medical_Device

Now that we have a grasp of the FDA medical device classification fundamentals, we can begin to explore the various pathways that a new medical device may follow in order to reach the market in the United States. In most cases, the medical device company will consult with the FDA at the beginning of the process in order to choose the correct pathway to prevent lost time and costs.

Class I and a small amount of Class II devices may apply for exemption with the FDA. If the exemption is granted, no pre-market review is required, but the FDA still controls the labeling and information provided to the consumer. These devices are then referred to as “FDA registered” or “FDA listed” devices once they make it to the market.

If an exemption is not appropriate, the device is low to moderate risk, and there is a device predicate already on the market, the 510(k) pathway is then utilized. A company must prove how the new device is equivalent to the marketed device and provide pre-clinical data, but clinical trial data is usually not required for the 510(k) pathway unless mandated by the FDA. Devices that successfully go through the 510(k) pathway are then referred to as “FDA cleared” devices.

For high risk, Class III devices or for devices that do not have a market equivalent, the pre-market approval (PMA) pathway is required. This requires the company to apply for an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) from the FDA. Once the IDE is obtained, the company can start the collection of data via a clinical trial in addition to pre-clinical data to provide in the eventual PMA submission. Devices that follow this pathway and are determined safe and effective, receive the “FDA approved” label. For devices that are low to moderate-risk, but do not have predicate on the market, the medical device company can work with the FDA to explore alternative pathways to bring the device to market if clinical trial data is not warranted. Alternative pathways include the De-Novo pathway, Humanitarian Device Exception, Product Development Protocol, and Custom Device Exemption, but these pathways are less common than the 510(k) and PMA pathways.

By the numbers, the vast majority of medical devices are cleared through 510(k) versus approved through the PMA pathway. Approximately 4,000 510(k) applications are submitted to the FDA each year compared to less than 100 PMA applications. The average cost to bring a medical device to market through the 510(k) pathway is $31 million compared to the PMA pathway with average costs of $94 million. The time and cost required to bring a device to market through 510(k) versus PMA makes the 510(k) pathway the popular choice, if available.

Despite the rigorous efforts and controls along the way to bring a medical device to market, the process is not perfect. The push for real-world evidence and post-market surveillance data will continue to shape the medical device landscape in order to ensure patient safety.

Comments

The ANSI/AAMI PB70 standard includes four standard tests to evaluate the barrier effectiveness of surgical gowns, isolation gowns, and surgical drapes. Based on the results of these standardized tests, four levels of barrier performance are defined, with Level 1 being the lowest level of protection, and Level 4 being the highest level of protection. Table 3 summarizes the requirements of ANSI/AAMI PB70:2012 regarding the classification of barrier performance of surgical gowns, isolation gowns, and surgical drapes.

3 AATCC 127 Water resistance: hydrostatic pressure test determines the ability of a material to resist water penetration under constant contact with increasing pressure [AATCC 1998]

As indicated in Table 3, the requirements for levels 1, 2, and 3 have specific test requirements associated with them. Only Level 4 gowns are tested for viral penetration resistance, and therefore only Level 4 garments are considered impermeable to viral penetration using ASTM F1671. The gowns complying with the lower levels (Level 1, 2, and 3) cannot be considered impermeable. However, Level 1–3 gowns can provide increasing resistance to liquids. ANSI/AAMI PB70 Level 1, 2, and 3 surgical/isolation gown-testing requirements only use water as a challenge. Because the surface tension of water is much higher than that of blood, blood can penetrate through fabrics more readily than water. Therefore, no correlation can be made between AATCC water resistance tests (AATCC 42 and AATCC 127) and ASTM F1671 viral penetration tests, and consequently, protection provided by Levels 1, 2, 3 gowns and that of Level 4 gowns. A common misunderstanding among many end-users is that they are protected from blood, body fluids, and other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) when they wear any type of fluid-resistant garment or surgical or isolation gown.

Chinese Standards – There are four levels of China Standards, namely, National Standards, Professional Standards (Industry or Sector Standards), local standards and enterprises standards.

Chinese standardization systemAs showed in the  figure, currently, there are 4 level of China standards, National standards (titled GB/GBT), Ministry standards ( titled as JB/JBT YY/YYT, etc ), provincial standards (titled as DB/DBT), and enterprises standards.

The national standards are managed by SAC and drafted by China national Technical committees. GB standards are compulsory standards (substantially equivalent to technical regulations in the sense of the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade) while GBT are voluntary standards.

Ministry Standards are managed and drafted by different ministries or previous ministry-level organizations that were merged into some other ministries. Besides National standards, which are approved by SAC, there are more than 60 organizations who can develop ministry standards.

Provincial or local standards are drafted by local governments with DB reference for compulsory standards and DBT for voluntary standards.

Enterprises standards are developed by industries and for their own use only.

China Standardization process

National standards

The elaboration of a national standard follows the steps below:

  • The  working  group  drafts  the  standard,  which  is  then  circulated  to stakeholders for public consultation;

  • The  draft  standard  is  revised  according  to  comments  received  from stakeholders;

  • The Technical Committee ballots the draft standard. If the draft standard is approved, the Working Group finalizes it. If the draft standard is rejected, it is revised for further balloting;

  • The final draft is then sent to SAC for verification;

  • SAC assigns a reference number to the standard and publishes it;

  • Each standard is usually reviewed every five years.

Professional standards

The professional standards are generally issued for unified technical requirements within a specific national industry when there are not corresponding national standards. As provided in the Standardization Law, the professional standards shall be administrated by various administrative departments/ministries of the State Council. In each ministry, there is a specific department which is in charge of the sector standardization for the new standard items register, final draft approval and issuance.

Like national standards, professional standards can be either mandatory or voluntary.
Here is the list of mandatory standards:

  1. Pharmaceutical, veterinary, pesticides, food hygiene products;

  2. Security and health of the transport, use of agricultural and industrial products and production;

  3. Health, safety and quality of construction;

  4. Important terminology, symbols, codes, documents and planning methods related to technology;

  5. Mutual cooperation;

  6. Products that require controls via testing and inspecting methods as well as agricultural and industrial products.

Standards not listed here are voluntary standards.

The national standardization technical committee or the centralized technical standardization unit are responsible for issuing a standard project and organizing its drafting and examination.
The competent centralized administration for professional standards has to send two copies of the standard project to the competent department of the State Council.

According to the requirements of the standard project, the Working Group in charge of the standard draft submits the draft to comments.
After soliciting the views of all stakeholders, the comments are sent to the National Standardization Technical Committee or to the centralized technical standardization unit for check and review.
When the National Standardization Technical Committee is in charge of examining the draft, it does it according to the “National Standardization Technical Committee Charter”.

When the centralized technical standardization unit is in charge of examining the draft, the presence of manufacturers, users, distributors, researchers from important institutions is required. The users’ proportion cannot be lower than one quarter of the present representatives.

The standard project examination can be carried out by means of meetings or by written. The project must be fully discussed, in order to reach consensus. The agreement of at least three quarters of the delegates attending the meeting is needed for the project to be approved. When it is a written agreement, three quarters of the replies should be in favour. The results should accurately reflect the views of all sides. The participation rate and the reply rate cannot be lower than two thirds.

The professional standards are approved, numbered and published by the centralized administration for professional standards.

The results of the examination should respect the summary record of the meeting or the conclusions of the written examination.
Both voluntary and mandatory standards projects must be commented by the National Standardization Technical Committee or the centralized technical standardization unit and approved by the centralized administration for professional standards.

Each standard is usually reviewed within five years.

The review is organized by the centralized administration for professional standards and performed by the National Standardization Technical Committee or the centralized technical standardization unit.

The review can be performed by means of meetings or by writing. For the review of a standard, the same examination unit and delegates that worked for the standard elaboration are required.

Local standards

If there is no national, industry or existing local standard, a standard project can be submitted. Local standards can be mandatory or voluntary.

• Project

According to needs, competent authorities of the municipality, the technical committee, or the municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision can draft a project of creation of a local standard.

• Drafting and comments

  1. After the approval of the project, the group in charge of drafting conducts research and collects comprehensive information. After analysis of the data, and according to the requirements for standardization, the draft is submitted to comments;

  2. The drafting unit communicates the comments to all of the related authorities by means of meetings or by written;

  3. The drafting unit put the collected information in a summary table and the standard is sent for examination;

  4. After audit with competent authorities, the municipal Bureau of quality, technical Supervision examines the standard;

  5. If the procedure is not finished in due time, the municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision must, by written, explain the reasons and apply for an extension of maximum 1 year. Beyond that period, the project is abandoned.

• Examination

  1. The municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision or the competent authority, according to the stipulation of the standard examination committee, can examine the standard along with a group of 7 experts from standardization technical committees, industrial associations, institutes or technical and scientific research institute;

  2. The examination committee analyses whether the standard project does not go against law, stipulations, regulations, but also against related national and professional standards;

  3. The examination committee must organize meetings with stakeholders for balloting. The draft needs at least three quarters of the votes to be concluded and signed.

• Approval and filing

  1. After the final technical report drafted by competent authorities, the draft standard is sent to the municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision for approval;

  2. The municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision puts the approved standard for public review for a maximum of 30 days;

  3. If the draft standard is not opposed (or not for valid reasons), the standard is approved by the municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision, numbered then published;

  4. After being published, the municipal Bureau must send the approved standards to the provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision within 30 days for them to file the standard.

Enterprise standards

Enterprise standards are never mandatory and are developed by individual companies on their own initiative – an enterprise standard is usually filling a gap in the market.

Standards are the key to guide the production and operations of enterprises. If there is no standard issued by higher authority, the products follow enterprises standards. Application

In order to launch a standard project, local enterprises have to address their municipal or county Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision.

• Request

The enterprise willing to draft a standard should form a group of expert on standardization of the related field so that they can carry out a technical examination.

• Procedure

The enterprise standards procedure follows the same steps as the local standards process.

Comparison of Standards for Medical Protection Products between China and Europe by SAC

During the Covid-19 epidemic, the exchange of medical protection supplies between China and Europe has shown great significance. SAC (State Administration of China), for the convenience of Europe’s stakeholders to be aware of standards for personal protection products in China, has compared European and Chinese standards for 4 categories of PPE products, organizing China’s related technical committees on standardization and research institutes.

These products include masks, protective clothing, gloves and eye-protectors. In addition, SAC also translated and released the English version of Chinese standards for reference.

Meanwhile, on 1st April 2020, China National Medical Products Administration, Ministry of Commerce, and  General Administration of Customs together made notice, said that

“ In order to support the world to fight against Covid-19 and ensure good product quality and safety and orderly export of medical supplies, Chinese enterprises that export testing kits of coronavirus, medical face masks, medical protective clothes, respirators, infrared thermometers, should provide a written or electronic declaration when declaring to customs since April 1,2020. This written or electronic declaration is a commitment that the enterprise has obtained the registration certificate for medical device, and the product it has manufactured is up to the requirements of standards of importing countries. The General Administration Customs shall examine and release the products in accordance with the registration certificate approved by National Medical Products Administration. The above-mentioned measure should be adjusted in line with changes of the epidemic.” http://www.mofcom.gov.cn/article/b/e/202003/20200302950371.shtml

Which means that the products exported from China to EU, firstly need to comply with Chinese standards, which make the comparison even more important.

The comparison chart of PPE products in China and Europe is presented below.

Annex1

Comparison of Standards of Surgical Masks

Surgical masks are mainly used in the operating room or other similar medical environment. The focus is to prevent the possible spatter of blood, fluid through the mask to contaminate the wearer. The key core indicators are generally filtration efficiency, blood penetration, microorganisms, pressure difference, etc.

Surgical masks in China shall comply with YY0469 standard, and the surgical masks in EU shall comply with EN14683 standard:

  • For particle filtration efficiency, YY 0469-2011 stipulates particle filtration rate (PFE) ≥ 30%, while EN14683-2019 has no requirement;
  • For bacterial filtration efficiency, YY 0469-2011 stipulates that bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) ≥95%, while in EN14683-2019 there’re three classes: Type I:≥95%, Type II and Type IIR:≥98%;
  • For blood penetrability, the requirement in YY 0469-2011 ≥16kPa, while EN14683-2019 only requires Type IIR, with the index ≥16kPa.

Comparison of key requirements between two standards is listed in Table 1-1.

Annex 2

Comparison of Respiratory Protective Equipment Standards—Non-powered Air-purifying Particle Respirator

Respiratory protective equipment—non-powered air-purifying particle respirator is mainly used in all kinds of places where aerosol particles exist, including all kinds of occupational places and daily places. The main function of the mask is to block liquid and solid particles into the wearer’s respiratory tract through the filter material of the mask and the tightness design of the mask body. Key core indicators mainly include filtration efficiency, leakage rate, respiratory resistance, etc. Non-powered air-purifying particle respirator shall meet the standard GB 2626 in China, and meet the standard EN149 in European Union.

For penetration of filter material/ filtration efficiency:

In GB 2626-2006, KN classes test Nacl only, KP classes test Paraffin oil only. Requirements of filtration efficiency: KN90≥90%, KN95≥95%, KN100≥99.97%; KP90 ≥90%, KP95≥95%, KP100≥99.97%.

In EN 149:2001+A1:2009, both Nacl and Parrafin oil tests are required. Requirements of filtration efficiency: FFP1≥80%, FFP2≥94%, FFP3≥99%. In general, the penetration/ filtration efficiency requirements are similar in both standards.

For Inward leakage:

Both standards are setting out same level of requirements for the Total Inward Leakage (TIL). In both GB 2626-2006 and EN 149:2001+A1:2009 at least 46 out of 50 individual TIL results and at least 8 out of 10 individual wearer TIL means are required.

The requirements are as follows:

KN90/KP90/FFP1: At least 46 out of 50 individual results≤25%, at least 8 out of 10 individual wearer means≤22%;

KN95/KP95/FFP2: At least 46 out of 50 individual results≤11%, at least 8 out of 10 individual wearer means≤8%;

KN100/KP100/FFP3: At least 46 out of 50 individual results≤5%, at least 8 out of 10 individual wearer means≤2%.

For breathing resistance:

In GB 2626-2006, all classes: Inhalation resistance≤350Pa at continuous flow, 85LPM;all classes: exhalation resistance≤250Pa; at continuous flow, 85LPM.

In EN 149:2001+A1:2009: Inhalation resistance, at continuous flow, 95LPM, FFP1≤210Pa, FFP2≤240Pa, FFP3≤300Pa; Exhalation resistance, at continuous flow, 160LPM, all classes: ≤300Pa.

Annex 3

Comparison of Single-use Medical Rubber Gloves Standards

Single-use medical rubber gloves are mainly used for medical examination and diagnosis, to prevent cross-infection between patients and users during surgical operation, and to handle contaminated medical materials. At present, Single-use medical rubber gloves produced in China include three types: single-use medical rubber inspection gloves, single-use sterilized rubber surgical gloves and single-use non-sterilized rubber surgical gloves.

The main technical requirements of single-use medical rubber gloves are classifications, material requirements, dimensions, tensile properties, water-tightness, sterilization, sampling program and packaging labeling requirements.

Chinese standards for single-use medical rubber gloves are: GB 10213-2006 Single-use Medical Rubber Inspection Gloves, GB 7543-2006 Single-use Sterile Rubber Surgical Gloves, GB/T 24787-2009 Single-use Non-sterile Rubber Surgical Gloves. In Europe, single-use medical rubber gloves shall comply with EU standards EN 455-1, EN 455-2, EN 455-3 and EN 455-4.

Chinese current national standards GB 10213-2006 (equivalent to ISO 11193.1-2002) and GB 7543-2006 (equivalent to ISO 10282:2004) are in line with ISO standards. GB/T 24787-2009 is a standard independently formulated by China. The comparison between the technical level of the three standards and between GB and the EU standards EN 455-1, EN 455-2, EN 455-3 and EN 455-4 is listed in table 3-1.
